Summary: This will be an indispensible reference book for Namibian history. The book gives a chronological listing of events up to the day of independence, 21 March 1990, and has an extensive 80 page index to persons, organisations, places, and selected keywords. While the emphasis is on political history, events in cultural,social and economic history are covered as well. As far as the author could establish exact dates, the events are given in day-by-day order. Seeing how many events are listed only by year - and knowing how much painstaking research the author has put into his work - one gets an idea how many of the "bare bones" of Namibian history still have to be unearthed.
